Posted by: Subhodeep on 2015-12-22

The tour was well organized and exactly how it has been described. No hidden or extra cost and is same as considered as excluded fees for optional attractions. Some days were hectic and some were comparably relaxed.
The tour guides- Ming and Eric, were very good and helpful. Solvang village tour is only during the summer.
Overall a very good experience and if you want to see the West Coast in short time.
